June 21, 2002—AXCESS Inc. has developed a wireless sensor that detects and alerts on tampering activity. The radio-based tag includes a shock sensor that detects shocks to machines such as ATMs, change machines, doors, lottery kiosks, vending machines, and other equipment.
The tag transmits an alert signal that automatically triggers an alarm, security video recording, and email alerts. The solution is designed to increase the effectiveness of security networks by alarming for vandalism and terrorist breaches.
AXCESS’ ActiveTag RFID (radio frequency identification) product uses small, battery powered tags (called generically “active” tags) that when automatically activated transmit a wireless message typically 30 to 100 feet to hidden palm size receivers. The receivers are connected via an industry standard interface to existing security alarm equipment or networked on the existing corporate network.
The tags can be used to trigger security video recording and live, remote video transmission. The tags are used for a variety of security applications including automatic personnel access to facilities, automatic vehicle access to parking areas and yards, corporate asset tracking and protection, as well as special purpose sensing. Automatic email alerting and paging is offered for rapid response to security incidents. For more information, contact AXCESS.
